Absence Chords & Lyrics - Roger Miller

[G]Silence is simply the [C]absence of sound

[D7]Darkness the absence of [G]light

My life is [G7]made up of [C]silence and [Am]darkness

[D7]Since the absence of you from my [G]side

[C]We became birds of a [G]different feather

[D7]Encountering storms we could [G]neither one [D7]weather

[G]I define anyone to [C]define me your way

My [D7]heart can't go on this a-[G]way

Nearness is simply the [C]absence of absence

[D7]Wrong is the absence of [G]right

My life is [G7]made up of the [C]absence of [Am]nearness

[D7]Since the absence of you from my [G]side

[C]We became birds of a [G]different feather

[D7]Encountering storms we could [G]neither one [D7]weather

[G]I define anyone to [C]define me your way

My [D7]heart can't go on this a-[C]w-[D7]a-y[G]
